Everyone is Welcome - Bring a Neighbor!

Purina Dairy Managers Chris Joslin, Derek Segelhorst and Kevin Kapelski have an outstanding day planned for attendees. You will be bused to three research units in the morning with alternating groups: Milking Research Unit, Calf Research Unit and the Growing Heifer Unit. These tours will be smaller groups so you will be able to see, hear and ask questions. You will also have the opportunity to visit with vendors and attendees. Following lunch you will be able to head back home OR take part in one of two optional tour options. Tour 1 includes Companion Animal unit and Beef Cattle or Tour 2 is Equine and Companion Animal.

Since Purina is required to bus attendees to the different units, it is imperative that you take just a moment to reserve your seat on the bus for the morning and afternoon tours. So, be sure to visit the link below to reserve your spot on the bus.

MISSOURI BOARD MEMBERS: If you are a member of the Missouri Holstein Association board of directors a short meeting will be held following the afternoon optional tours. So make plans to attend all events. We look forward to you joining us on July 15th!
